Islam Hejazy, a Gaza program manager for the U.S.-based charity HEAL Palestine, was shot dead by Palestinian gunmen in Khan Younis, an incident described by Hamas officials as a case of mistaken identity. Eyewitnesses report that gunmen in multiple vehicles unleashed a barrage of bullets on her car, leading to her death. Her family claims that the attack was a tragic error, highlighting the broader chaos and security breakdown in Gaza amidst ongoing violence and conflict. HEAL Palestine mourned her loss, calling for a ceasefire and emphasizing her dedication as a humanitarian and mother of two. This incident reflects increasing criminality and instability in the region, complicating humanitarian efforts nearly a year into the current conflict. There has been little international response or media coverage of this tragic event, underscoring the ongoing challenges faced by aid workers in Gaza.
